"You smell so good..." Askel murmured out of the blue.
Askel still held Zariah tightly in his embrace as he had been for quite a while already, just silently revelling in the moment where everything between them had finally come to a certain point and both were finally on the same page with their feelings and intentions.
But with the words Askel had just said, Zariah sensed the change in the atmosphere, and the scent of Askel's arousal was prominent.
"I know..." Zariah murmured quietly.
Zariah pulled away from Askel slowly, avoiding his gaze as she collected her thoughts and steadied her heart rate which was going at a mile per minute.
If she looked into Askel's eyes, Zariah could already guess what she would see...desire.
Askel's intentions to claim Zariah was obvious without him even saying a word.
And Zariah's heart jumped within her when Askel's fingers grazed slowly along the side of her face.
